Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Coventry University has initiated the procurement process for the renewal of their Westlaw subscription service. This falls under the industry category of subscription services (CPV code 79980000). The procurement, labelled as SC-1451-24-WP, is being managed through a direct procurement method, specifically a single tender action below the threshold. The contract period will start on 1 February 2025 and conclude on 31 January 2026, with a total contract value of £26,385.48. The procurement process has reached the award stage, with the award notice published on 2 December 2024 and the contract awarded to Thomson Reuters (Professional) UK Limited.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs that specialise in subscription services. The direct procurement method means that competition is limited, making it an attractive option for businesses seeking a streamlined process. Given that the contract value is substantial and runs for an entire year, companies that deliver high-quality subscription services could leverage this opportunity to establish a long-term relationship with Coventry University and potentially open doors to further contracts in the education sector.
